Overview

We are a family owned group of companies and businesses headed by Darrel and Kathy Cole. Our base of operations is the city of Perth in Western Australia.

Our main facilities are based at Jandakot Airport and include administration offices, flight training classrooms, departure lounge, aircraft repair workshop and tarmac aircraft facilitation.

We provide tours, charter, pilot training, aircraft sales and aircraft maintenance for local and international markets.


The Company

Today's operations originated from Alliance Air, a company that was primarily involved in the hire of aircraft to charter operators and flight schools.

Kookaburra Air was formed on 8th January 1996 to provide air charter, air tours and scenic flights. In January 1998 a facility was purchased at Jandakot Airport to meet the growing needs and improve service. The company Jandakot Flight Centre incorporating flight training, aircraft maintenance and charter services was formed in 2000. Kookaburra Air still services all tour requirements.

Operations are Perth based with flights from Jandakot and Perth Airports. All pilots are mature, people orientated with a pleasant, friendly and helpful attitude, flexible enough to meet the individual needs of the passengers and trainees while commanding a safe and professional flight.
